ASCE Rocky Mountain Region Conference 2012

Well, we made it to regionals and were very excited to compete against the other teams. Following are pictures of events that the canoe team participated in, in chronological order.

First was "Canstruction", which we did not do very well in (as you can probably see).  Points in this category are just for participation. All cans were donated to a local food bank following the event.

Swamping the canoe.  We had to completely submerge the canoe to make sure that our concrete design would float and assure that there were no holes in the canoe.

 Racing. We took first in the Women's Sprint, Men's Sprint, and Men's Endurance and third in the Coed and the Women's Endurance.

Don't worry, we are still #1.  

 Finally, our reclaimed trophy. Great job to everyone who participated! The canoe team is now headed to the National Concrete Canoe Competition in Reno, NV from June 13 to the 16. We would also like to say good luck to the Steel Bridge Team at their national competition later this month!
